95 APPENDIX 1. How to run DDK-1700BC UPnP The DDK-1700BC supports the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol which makes it easier for set-up. Follow these steps for UPnP use: Figure 1 UPnP Setup Flow Chart 1. Check the IP class of your PC In most case Microsoft Windows will assign an IP address of *.* automatically with a subnet mask of if the DHCP server is absent. The default IP address of a DDK-1700BC is with a subnet mask of There won t be any communication due to different IP class domains and you have to modify the relative settings or the UPnP protocol won t work. It may be necessary to check you IP address. Follow this procedure: Step 1: From the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. See Figure 2. 95

96 Figure 2 Step 2: When Control Panel appears, double-click the Network Connections icon. The Network Connections dialog box appears. See Figure 3. Figure 3 Step 3: Click the Protocols tab in the Network Connections dialog box. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Step 4: When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box comes up, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. See Figure 5. 96

97 Figure 5 Step 5: In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, choose Use the following IP Address to indicate that you do not wish to use DHCP, and assign IP Address with Subnet mask Click OK when finished. See Figure 6. Step 6: Choose Close to finish the modification. See Figure 7. Figure 6 97

98 Figure7 2. Install UPnP Packets Follow these steps: Step1: In the Start menu, point to Set Program Access and Default and click. See Figure 8 Figure 8 Step 2: When the Add or Remove Programs dialog box appears, click Add/Remove Windows Components button. See Figure Figure 9

99 Step 3: Check the Network Services in the Windows Component Wizard dialog box, and then click Details. See Figure10. Figure 10 Step 4: Check UPnP User Interface, and choose OK. See Figure 11. Figure 11 Step 5: When the original Network Component Wizard dialog box returns, click Next. See Figure12. 99

100 Figure 12 Step 6: After about one minute the UPnP installation will be finished. Click finish. See Figure13. Figure Turn on Services After installation services must be tuned on to start UPnP protocol. Follow these procedures: Step 1: In the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. See Figure

101 Figure 14 Step 2: When Control Panel appears, double-click the Administrative Tools icon. The Administrative Tools dialog box appears. See Figure15. Figure15 Step 3: Click the Services icon in the Administrative Tools dialog box. See Figure

102 Figure16 Step 4: When the Services dialog box comes up, double click the SSDP Discovery Service icon. See Figure17. Figure17 Step 5: Choose Automatic in the Startup type and click OK to start it. See Figure

103 Figure18 Step 6: When the Services dialog box appears again, double click the Universal Plug and Play Device Host icon. See Figure19. Figure19 Step 7: Choose Automatic in the Startup type, click the Start button, and click OK. See Figure

104 Figure20 Step 8: Restart your system. 4. Scan DDK-1700BCs through My Network Place After you complete the installation and have started services, the UPnP protocol will take effect. You can scan all DDK-1700BCs in My Network Place, as in Figure21 and Figure22 below. Figure21 104

105 Figure22 Double click the UPnP DDK-1700BC icon, and the video live stream will pop up automatically without assigning any IP address in Microsoft Internet Explorer. 105
